“Of course! Physique adjustment won’t be a problem since you’re only a tad bit shorter than Inami.”

She then tugs onto Inami’s shirt, pulling him towards her.

“Ne, Ina-kun! Can I?” She desperately asks with a grin, mildly scaring him.

“Sure! Just that… don’t we have another difference aside from our height…?”

“Oh?”

He nods then briefly looks down on his chest. Tsurugi raises an eyebrow then looks down on her chest, softly blushing upon noticing the ‘difference’.

“Yeeaaah. I don’t have any problems with mine but for you… it might…”

“…Pervert.”

“I’m just…!”

“You actually considered them as well, eh?”

“Tsu-chan! That sounds—”

She silences him by placing her index finger on his lips and giggles at his blushing face.

“You look cute when you panic like that, Ina-kun…”

As his eye twitches at her remark, he could only let out a scared laughter.

“Eeehehe… Uum… Anyways, should we get started?”

“Yeap!”

Tsurugi releases her grip on his shirt as she stands up, follow by Inami and Jinrai who then switches off the television.

“Well then! Let’s go!”

@ Senpai - Mine's a bit more simple: Instead of ignoring Dan like the Novel does, I'll have him meet Utsuho once he and Ichika separate and she agrees to give him a tour. At the end of it, she gives him her number

Intimate? I've done it before and I don't really find it that stimulating. But that may be because I was focused on the fact that her finger was bleeding.

I do that to my sister as well when we're younger, but people get wrong impression due to the stigma/ atmosphere... (especially if they don't know that not only she's my sister, but a twin sister)

Originally, it was girls who paid a lot of attention on such instance, because guys (usually) don't give a damn.

This is why if guys whose finger is bleeding, they do it themselves, unless the girl took initiative. If the girls injured, the guys will quickly do it and the girls will be impressed somewhat, hence the romantic tension.

Though due to 'merging' of genres (Shonen that has decent romance, shoujo that has decent action), male started to get the clues.

She has A, or it's A+? not really sure. Also, As I said before, Rin was the only one who looks her age.

It may cause a tension from Tatenashi side, she may call him a tease (ironic I know) and Irish will be dumbfounded. As for Karon, I believe she'll impressed and thanked him, but don't see it as romantic (she's chaste heroine IIRC).

Have Irish do it on Laura as well, or vice versa, so Kyuukai going NADS!

FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU-

Yeah, as I told you, if the girls don't take initiative, the guys will do it themselves.

Ange stood in front of the elaborate mausoleum, one that housed the remains of her grandparents. She never liked it, oversized and grandiose it was sitting in the center of the cemetery. Even in death her family called attention to themselves.

"I don't even know what I'm doing here. It's not like you were around when I was born." The girl began, scratching the back of her short brown hair. One arm held a bouquet of flowers--Edmund's idea, not hers. "An it's not as if dad's buried here. Nobody ever found his or Uncle Jim's body."

Ange went through the motions of laying the bouquet at the foot of her grandparents' grave, but thoroughly ignored the one that indicated her father's resting place.

"I don't believe he or Uncle Jim are dead. not for one second." Ange crossed her arms, more defiant than morose. "Dad would never let a couple of tanks or missiles take him down. No way."

There was a rustling of feathers. Not real, Ange knew. The mausoleum played tranquil, heavenly effects like small singing flutes and harps, and doves flying. No real bird ever set foot within these walls.

As if on cue, the fluttering turned into the refrain from a halleluiah chorus.

"Dad always did say you had a sick sense of humor, Gramps." Ange couldn't help it--she was snickering madly at the change of mood. "I'll be back next month. 'kay?"

Ange Stark took her time before leaving the mausoleum. There was no hurry, as the school day had ended. All she wanted now was time to herself, to think through other configurations for her pet project.

"You skipped school again, Ange."

"Well, I would go to class if they actually had SOMETHING to teach me that I didn't already know." Stark replied without the hint of surprise as she smiled at the girl waiting outside for her. "Seriously, Shay. Professor Poppinsmock hasn't got the first clue about nanoskin gel theory."

"It's Professor Pollock." Shay Cunningham replied, the image of forced calm. One of Stark's few real friends in school, and barely able to handle her eccentricities. "Cut her some slack. The Professor's theories on exoskeletal frames were cutting-edge before the IS was invented."

"Whatever." Ange made a show of shrugging and walked on, causing Shay to follow. "I don't like Poppinsmock."

"Pollock." As the class representative, Cunningham was normally more taciturn towards her classmates. However, Angelina Stark always had a way of getting her goat.

"Normal girls talk about boys, fashions, and shoes. We talk about IS technology." Cunningham remarked flatly. "Dear god, we sound more like boys than boys do."

"Shay? Just a little interest would be good?"

"I'm sorry, Ange. But I don't believe it." Cunningham crossed her arms. "You're smart, true. But there's no way you could have developed a 4th-gen IS in your back yard. Just--no."

Ange had to agree with her friend's logic. Most of the world had only started research and development into 3rd-generation Infinite Stratos exoskeletons. 4th-generation Is in the world were rare. In fact, only two existed.

Shay wordlessly handed over her notebook. "You're lucky I didn't tell Ms. Hannigan about how you hacked those Rafale Revives."

"No lasting damage." Ange took the notes with a smile. "I just wanted to see what kind of protocols Dunois had to protect their systems from a hack. The answer is: none."

Shay rolled her eyes. "What will you think of next?"

"Now that you mentioned it, there's this hair removal liquid that..."

"ANGE. NO."

Throughout this ENTIRE fic, I hear Rina Satoh as Ange Stark, and every crack cell AGREES.

I know you mentioned Cunningham before, but somewhere in my mind I'm trying to recall which marvel hero that name invoked... It sounded familiar...

...I predict that "Ange. No." will quickly become a popular byword on this forum...

Actually...

Karon: Alright!Ange: Let's do this!

Riz: Bill and Ted...? *facepalm*

Edmund would not appreciate Stark's new company...

Or will Prof Maximillan when she tries to fiddle around with the Meister Egg.

But that's where Vandam gets a ridiculous new set of gear...

Btw, what kind of a idol would Ange be? Being a total narcissicist helps, but her traits are those of a Hollywood star, and that is far removed from the rather Asiatic model of SHOOTiNG ST@RS whose founding members have a lot of conservative ideals in their builds. I believe she prepares running solo? Would she do shows readily, perhaps too many, or just work on IS all day, needing to be dragged out by Maximillan?

Ange's entry into the ST@RS will be a culture shock for the core 6 (Karon, Riz, Gin, Celeste, and Erika) which will be FUN to play with.

I was hoping to have a St@rs show in the World of Tomorrow Park. Is that still there?

@ Meister - Depends on how narcissistic she is. I can imagine her singing songs about herself or going around traipsing in revealing/attention grabbing outfits. Think a less bitchy and more funny version of Sharpay

This was what I thought. I'm threading a very fine balance here though. The full Amerikajin stereotype I started out with is rather repulsive, and I do try to make all my girls appealing in some way.

If only I could somehow combine her sharp tongue, her IS-ism, her narcissicism, and her fondness for attention grabbing outfits together.

Her inclusion in the SHOOTiNG ST@RS allow me to underscore in god-freaking BOLD the kind of random group-up that the group is. I wanted Ange (and I believe she is) to be THE anti-Idol, the Miss Congeniality in this beauty pagent.

At the same time, I want her to have her charms and fans.

I want her to be abusive, to appeal to the fans who like to be abused, but at the same time she has to be distinct from Riz's tsundere.

COnsidering the last lines in Hawke's short, that seems unlikely. Which is a plus-point for me; idols aren't supposed to be seen dating which is the original mould. Though for Ange to come and break the mould would be great too, but I need to take that in to consideration when planning.

Good luck being a Man chaser when you've got those 4 as choices

The ST@RS do go on shows... and where there are shows, there are men... and men are more willing to get into a girl's knickers...

Basically, I took her in to take on the challenge to turn Ange Stark into a successful idol. However, she's the hardest person to make an idol out of, even though she is idol material, but for a different country.

Her culture differences allow for much push-pull within the group and help keeps things fresh, but I must keep her popularity up there...
